ROCK ON GOLD DUST WOMAN!

Just finished a new piece…took a while, since I started it the summer before our wedding last year…!! Laid everything down once the wedding took over and literally just got back to it this past month…hope you enjoy! Rock On! juner

JUST A FEW WORDS ABOUT ME...

I live with my husband, and best friend, Ray..along with our dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and a couple sheep on the horizon (possibly a goose or two as well), in Santa Cruz Ca. Our three adult children (and mates), live respectively in LA, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz.

I work our small farm, Turkey Hollow, that, besides the robust tomato concentration and tea garden, includes an orchard, dahlias, roses and my newest addition of a massive bearded iris garden, I'm obsessed with iris' now. I'm best known for my black and white contemporary paintings of Rock Legends, however, most of my days lately are spent between the farm and writing.

My life has always been about painting, it's in my blood. The art of black and white is something that takes me to another place...to simply sit down at a canvas with just black and white and create a dimensional, emotional image, is mind boggling even to me...and I do it! Writing...now that's something else…that's my passion. It feeds my soul like nothing has ever done before. I will do this for the rest of my life.

At present I am immersed in finishing up my first series of YA Fantasy/adventure novels called, the Benjamin McTish Series (you can read all about it by clicking the link in the sidebar). I've already got my next novel in mind and can't wait to begin. I've opened up my Book Blog to include other Authors of YA Fantasy for interviews, guest posts and spotlights…I'm all about promoting Magic around here…please visit Thornton Berry Shire Press, Home of the Benjamin McTish Series, and enjoy meeting some really talented people.
